The Beer Loop
Devil don’t rhyme with evil
But mirror rhymes with beer
Their sounds like there but
Where sounds like wear
and both sound like ware
Which makes it hard to bare
especially if you’re a bear
Care rhymes with stare
which also sounds like stair
They all rhyme with chair
which only seems fair
But the fair offers fare
Which many are willing to share
Except Cher who gets scared
when Donna cuts her hair
Chris is a liar
Who won’t leave his lair
He stares into his drink
And thinks
Devil don’t rhyme with evil
But mirror rhymes with beer

Flooflovian
Flooflovian (floofinition) – Relating to classical conditioning conducted by an animal to create a predictable behavioral pattern.
In use: “The rescue cat, Elsa, was a flooflovian master, teaching her new ‘master’ to share her food, surrender her pillow, and generally do as the cat desired, mostly through purrs, gazes, and quiet meows.”
Floofveillance
Floofveillance (floofinition) – An animal’s close watch kept over someone or something.
In use: “Although always respectful and well-behaved (unlike others she could name, like the cats), the German Shepherd maintained floofveillance on the grill as the steaks cooked.”
Floofton’s Cradle
Floofton’s Cradle (floofinition) – Group sleeping position animals use to conserve warmth and energy.
In use: “The kittens quickly refined the floofton’s cradle with the retriever’s help, curling up in one snug heap of slumbering fur.”
Flooftypal
Flooftypal (floofinition) – Very typical of a certain kind of animal.
In use: “Mama Meow was one of the growing flooftypal mothers seen on the net of late, willing and eager to raise orphaned babies from another species — squirrels, in this instance.”
